They sent me a 9550SX-8LP. The only problem I had was solved with a firmware upgrade. So far, I've build the RAID10 array with 8 Raptors (6 live, 2 hot swap) and created a NetSaint plugin for it. I do like their CLI interface. It is very comprehensive: http://www.freebsddiary.org/3ware-9550SX-8LP-cli.php I can confirm the hot-swap works for me. More details of my 9550SX-8LP experience are in these articles: http://www.freebsddiary.org/topics.php?aid=606 cheers -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php
